Called "One Day's Pay, the effort seeks to have 100,000 people this
year (and a million in 2003) engage in community service or donate a
day's salary.

David Paine, president of Irvine, CA-based PainePR and director of One
Day's Pay, said the goal this year is to get the project off the
ground - focusing on the PR profession - and then to be more aggressive
next year.

The ultimate goal is for a national day of community service.

The nonprofit organization has a website (www.onedayspay. org) where
people can submit their pledges. Paine emphasized that the group does
not share this information with anyone or forward it to charities. One
Day's Pay does not solicit money itself.

"People can decide what they want to do, Paine said. "It's not
necessarily giving a day's pay. It could be assisting a homebound person
by getting groceries."

The website has information for all those wanting to get involved. Those
interested can also call (949) 809-6878.
